Gents: Do you feel comfortable with a woman who is taller than you?

[Undertow]

Haven't met many women taller than me (I'm 6'3"), but would be charmed to meet a charming, taller lady!

 

[Mark D]

Nah. I wouldn't care.

I'm 5' 9" and yes, it would be an issue for me. I tend to be attracted to women who are 5' 4" or so

I'm thinking that most of the time, if a woman gets turned down because of height, that height wasn't really the deciding factor - just the easiest excuse to deliver. I think if a guy gets hit on by a beautiful woman, he'll happily overlook the fact that she overlooks him by an inch or two. On the other hand, if he's not attracted for a myriad of other reasons, and she happens to also dwarf him in size, well, it wouldn't help her case. It's usually women feeling self conscious about being the tall one. On the dating site I use, short guys and fat girls occupy similar territories of the desirability spectrum. Men need to be tall, it seems, and women need to be slim, but I've read very few complaints about fat men and tall women. That's by no means authoritative, just observation.

I am 5'10" and most, but certainly not all, women are shorter than me. I've always been attracted to height in a woman and it would not bother me in the least to date someone taller than myself. However since my 21st anniversary was yesterday and my wife is 5'5" it is not likely I'll ever date anyone taller than myself.

And I think that your wife would agree with that last statement.lol

I think about a 5" height difference looks the best for photos.

Being 5'7", it's a 50-50 shot a woman will be taller than I am, but then, it seems to work out OK. I mean, if it didn't pose a problem for Mickey Rooney who am I to care. In other words, it's jake with me.

My wife (married just a month now) is a few inches taller than me.

I figured you'd feel that way, FL. Good to see a post from you, too! We need to get together at Nick's Cafe'...

Going on 20 years married to the same wonderful woman. She's shorter than I, but if she were taller I still would've been drawn to her. She is the best (at least for me - you go get your own best).

I think that sums up the attitude of many of the posters to this thread up to now: really depends on the woman...

^^Bump!

 

[Blackjack]

yeah, my wife is 5' 9 and I'm 6' 2" but if i was 5' 8" I still would have married her!

And a lot of men who have answered the poll would echo your thoughts!

 

[Yeps]

I thought about it, and I really would not be comfortable with a woman taller than me. However, I do not know if that would still be true if I was not so tall. I am not very comfortable with anyone being taller than me.

 

[kenmcneill]

Speaking as a "vertically challenged" male, I long ago made peace with a woman being a little taller. Either that, or I'd have missed the chance to enjoy the company of a few wonderful women, including my darlin' wife.

I think it's tall women that might not feel comfortable with shorter men. I believe men are not very picky when it comes to height of a woman. They will take any and all comers.......

Hi,

I am 185 cm tall that translates to somewhat under 6'1" - I always try to recognize the beauty which is there in every woman.

Same height as you Tom, and same perspective.
